Hello guys,
when i am trying to login in to the remote server.
i got this error message. can anyone help me where i have to make the changes to solve this error.

i have installed tomcat two days back and its not working. but today when i logged in this is the error message i got. please help me to solve this problem.

-bash: export: `/usr/local/tomcat/': not a valid identifier

Likely an extra "$" in a shell script, perhaps your .profile, .bash_profile or .bashrc.

Something like:
vs

But this is how i have spcified in my /etc/profile.

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_04
JAVA_PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_04/bin
CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat/
export CATALINA_HOME


I couln't able to identify wheather the tomcat server is running properly.
This is the output when i check the Tomcat


jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28]# ps -aux | grep tomcat

Somewhere in your machine, there is a script containing the bogus "export $CATALINA_HOME".

Tomcat seems to run anyway.

As you said that there is another tomcat i found in the /usr/share/directory.

[root@69-64-78-130 tomcat5]# pwd
/usr/share/tomcat5
[root@69-64-78-130 tomcat5]# ls bin/
bootstrap.jar commons-daemon.jar jkstatus-tasks.xml [mx4j][mx4j].jar reloctomcat5
catalina-tasks.xml commons-logging-api.jar jmxaccessor-tasks.xml relink setclasspath.sh.p10
[root@69-64-78-130 tomcat5]#


but the the service is stopped.

[root@69-64-78-130 tomcat5]# chkconfig --list tomcat5
tomcat5 0ff 1ff 2ff 3ff 4ff 5ff 6ff
[root@69-64-78-130 tomcat5]#

Anyway that i can stop that without deleting. or plz say any idea to start my server.

Thanks
